History

Matsui was created by King Felipe Othar because of a need for a language which all could learn without favouring any one culture. It is used in all government functions, and in national television programmes. It is also taught in primary schools as a required language. Even though it was originally created as a mere lingua franca, the language has become a living language with native speakers. These speakers are generally scattered around the nation, as the language was never intended to have been the lingua franca of any one region. The language itself is also a limited one, as it was intended to be easy to learn.

Grammar

Introduction

Unlike European languages, Matsui has no genders. Also unlike European languages, Matsui has no built-in numbers. Whilst most languages have singular and plural inflections, Matsui has no such thing. However, Matsui does distinguish singular and plural by particles. Additionally, Matsui uses particles to distinguish the nominative, accusative, and dative cases.
